The Approach to Base Camp “Plaza Argentina”

It is a unique experience to climb Aconcagua! I went on this adventure for 15 days in January 2019 with a great team of people. Together we hiked through long valleys, rough snowstorms and surreal landscapes towards the roof of South America. In a series of four articles I want to tell you the exciting story of this ascent, give you useful information and a feeling if climbing Aconcagua is something for you. Part 1 is about the three-day approach to the Base Camp Plaza Argentina.
